1. Welcome and Introductions. Co-Chairs Beverley McDonald
and Helen Philpott convened the meeting at 1:10 and
introduced members.
1. Review of the Committee's Responsibilities and
Str ucture. M. Lewis reviewed the purposes of the Committee
from the Bylaws, including the provision for inclusion of
non-Trustee members. After some discussion, the committee
agreed with S. Johns-Boehme's proposal that this committee
serves three primary purposes:
a.
Initiation of programs -- that is, new program
ideas will be reviewed, developed and even conceived
here, for recommendation to the full Board.
b. Coordination of programs -- that is, since MNF
programs cut across all parts of the nonprofit sector,
this committee's members {themselves representing
diverse parts of t:he sector) will carry responsibility
for coordinating among their networks in the planning
and development stages of MNF's broad-based
initiatives.
c. Support of and leadership for MNF programs during
implementation. Where this is required, it may take
the form, for example, of Task Forces or Work Groups,
each carrying responsibility for a particular
�initiative that requires coordination across the
nonprofit sector.
3. Review of MNF's Four Mission Areas. M. Lewis presented
the Forum's mission statement and its four parts, which form
t h e basis for programming: Promoting philanthropy,
p r omoting voluntarism, increasing public awareness of the
nonprofit sector, and improving the capacity of the
nonprofit sector in Michigan.
4 . Review of the 10/16/90 MNF Board brainstorming list.
The summary (attached) was discussed and clarified.
5. Proaram Uodate. M. Lewis reported on programming since
J u ne 1990 (outline attached).
6. Brainstorming: Discussion of the Four Mission Areas.
During the discussion, several issues were emphasized for
potential program development:
a. H. Yamanishi uc·ged that MNF define more precisely
what is a nonprofit, both for public understanding and
to guide policy.
b. P. Williams emphasized leadership issues (citing
Peter Drucker) as critical for the sector, including a
sense of mission and even how to let go when the
mission is accomplished. Can the Forum be helpful
here?
c. B. McDonald agreed, adding that leadership skills
are distinct from management skills, which are also
underdeveloped in the sector. can the Forum be helpful
here?
c. P. Williams suggested, and the committee agreed,
that the issue of Government vs. Nonprofit
Responsibilities is a critical area for public dialogue
and understanding. He suggested a series of videotaped
discussions, with Discussion Guides, that could appear
on Public TV but also could be circulated throughout
the state in orchestrated discussion groups.
7.
Follow-up. The videotape concept was assigned to staff,
to explore with the MNf Chair and other Trustees and to
bring back to this committee.
8.
The committee adjourned at 3:45.

Summary of Small Group Reports
from t h e
10/16/90 Meeting of the MN F Board of Trustees
I.
"To promote the awareness of Michigan's nonprofit
sector"
Group 1 concluded that a great deal is being done to
make the public aware of specific segments of the
nonprofit sector, but little is being done to promote
general awareness of the sector as a whole . The group
discussed four steps which could be taken to address
this information gap:
1)
2)
3)
4)
Clarify public understanding of the identity
of the nonprofit sector
Combine resources of member agencies to raise
the general awareness
Convene educational, legislative, and media
groups to educate them
Find and recognize outstanding nonprofits
II. "To promote the effectiveness of Michigan's nonprofit
sector"
Group 2 discussed the concept of effectiveness and
discussed ten ways in which they felt the overall
effectiveness of nonprofits could be increased:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)
8)
9)
10)
Share information
Broker technical expertise
Form a clearinghouse of ideas
Share program and service successes
Coordinate advocacy on issues of concern
Offer professional developmental services
(promote expert i se for nonprofits)
Find ways to introduce philanthropy into
public education and the general community
Increase positive image of nonprofits (e.g.,
through the press)
Emphasize connection between non- and forprofit sectors
Promote the sector's ability to communicate
successes
�III "To advance the cause of voluntarism"
Group 3 discussed the need to {1) promote greater
public understanding of the rationale for volunteering,
and (2) involve schools and colleges in volunteer
efforts to foster a lifelong commitment to volunteering
by today's youth. The group made two recommendations:
IV.
1)
MNF should be supportive of Michigan's
volunteer institutions, including at least
the thirteen volunteer centers and the United
Ways, as they prepare for the President's
Points of Light Foundation media blitz and
its implications for Michigan.
2)
A voluntarism coordinating committee needs to
be established through the MNF. This
committee would most appropriately be chaired
by George Romney.
"To advance the cause of philanthropy"
Group 4 discussed ten proposals which they felt would
advance the cause of philanthropy:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)
Research and analyze contribution data in
Michigan in order to determine where gaps
exist. This information should be provided
to the Media.
Initiate a "Give 5" campaign.
Disseminate information on the standards of
fundraising.
Educate organizations on the Charitable
Solicitation Act.
Focus on education (K-12). Also focus on
foreign companies.
Aim to help philanthropy become more
pluralistic, i.e., to include minorities.
MNF can provide information on various
nonprofits, in order to encourage others to
improve and collaborate (e.g., for greater
cost-effectiveness).

Call to Order.
9:15 a.m.
As Chair , R. Mawby called the meeting to order at
II.
I n troduct i on to MNF Mission and Programs :
1)
Background. R. Mawby reviewed the history and purpose of
the Michigan Nonprofit Forum.
2)
Overview. Acting Executive Director M. Lewis reviewed the
actions of the original MNF Steering Committee and programs
now in place or under development, including
The Michigan Communication Project
Formation of a Michigan Scholars Network
�Work with several colleges and universities on programs
related to the nonprofit sector
3)
Michigan volunteer Coalition. Governor Romney reported on
the formation of the informal Michigan Volunteer Coalition
in June 1990 and the appointment of Co-chairs by Governor
Blanchard and Senator Engler to serve with him . He reported
that the Coalition's leadership had been working with the
MNF Acting Executive since the June meeting, to plan next
steps.
4)
Computer Bulletin Board. T. Bernthal reported on the
Michigan Community College Association's generous offer to
sponsor an MNF Computer Bulletin Board through MCCA's
existing technology. He introduced C.J. Schroll from MCCA,
who reviewed the details of the system and invited Trustees
to contact him for demonstrations.
III. Small Group Discussion:
"Translating the Vision into Action" .
The Trustees broke into four groups for discussion of MNF's four
Mission Areas.
IV.
Reports of Small Groups to the Whole:
Mission Area I:
"To promote the awareness of Michigan's
nonprofit sector."
Group 1 concluded that a great deal is being done to make
the public aware of specific segments of the nonprofit
sector, but l1ttle to promote general awareness. The group
discussed four steps which could be taken to address this
information gap:
1)
2)
3)
4)
Clarify public understanding of the identity of the
nonprofit sector
Combine resources of member agencies to raise the
general awareness
Convene educational, legislative, and media groups to
discuss sector-wide issues
Find and recognize outstanding nonprofits
Mission Area II:
"To promote the effectiveness of Michigan's
nonprofit sector"
Group 2 discussed the concept of effectiveness and discussed
ten ways in which they felt the overall effectiveness of
nonprofits could be increased:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
Share information
Broker technical expertise
Form a clearinghouse of ideas
Share program and service successes
Coordinate advocacy on issues of concern
Offer professional developmental services
�7)
8)
9)
10)
(promote expertise for nonprofits)
Find ways to introduce philanthropy into public
education and the general community
Increase positive image of nonprofits (e.g., through
the press)
Emphasize the connection between non- and for-profit
sectors
Promote the sector's ability to communicate successes
Mission Area III: "To advance the cause of voluntarism"
Group 3 discussed the need to (1) promote greater public
awareness of the rationale for volunteering, and (2) inv olv e
schools and colleges in volunteer efforts to foster a
lifelong commitment to volunteering by today's youth. The
groups made two recommendations.
1) MNF should be supportive of Michigan's volunteer
institutions, including at least the thirteen volunteer
centers and the United Ways, as they prepare for the
President's Points of Light Foundation media blitz and
its implications for Michigan.
2) An MNF voluntarism coordinating committee needs to
be established. This Committee would most
appropriately be chaired by George Romney.
Its main
function would be (a) to identify and contact all
groups who need to know about the 1991 "blitz " and (b)
set the stage for the continuation of these efforts
beyond the "blitz".
The Trustees unanimously approved the creation of
an HNF Board committee -- the Coordinating
Committee on Voluntarism -- to facilitate a
statewide initiative for voluntarism in Michigan.
Further, they approved the proposal that the
bipartisan leadership of the Coalition become the
leadership of the Forum's Coordinating Committee
(now himself as Chair, and Janet Blanchard and
Judith Hooker as Co-chairs). Membership of the
Coordinating Committee will be open to nonTrustees and will consist of broad-based
organizations and networks with significant impact
on volunteering in Michigan.
Mission Area IV:
"To advance the cause of philanthropy"
Group 4 discussed several proposals which they felt would
advance the cause of philanthropy:
1)
2)
Research and analyze contribution data in Michigan in
order to determine where gaps exist. This information
should be provided to the media.
Initiate a "Give 5" campaign.
�3)
4)
5)
6)
7)
Disseminate information on the standards of fundraising.
Educate organizations on the Charitable Solicitation Act
Focus on K-12 education, as well as education of foreign
companies in traditions of giving
Aim to help philanthropy become more pluralistic, i.e.,
to include minorities
MNF can provide information on various nonprofits, in
order to encourage others to improve and collaborate
(e.g., for greater cost-effectiveness)
[LUNCH BREAK]
V.
Business Meeting.
1)
Chairman's Report/Review of the Minutes. After the
Chairman's report on the September 26, 1990 Organizational
Meeting of the Trustees, the minutes of that meeting were
approved.
2)
Treasurer's Report: As Treasurer, R. Ivory presented the
MNF Balance sheets as of September 30, 1990. The Trustees
unanimously accepted the Treasurer's report.
3)
Report of the Search Committee: As Chair of the Search
Committee, E. Blews described the executive search process.
The Trustees unanimously adopted the following
recommendation:
That the Board of Trustees of the Michigan Nonprofit
Forum ratify the authority of the Forum's original
Steering Committee to appoint and hire the Forum's
Executive Director, upon presentation to it of the
final recommendation of the Search Committee in
accordance with the process stipulated in the June 27,
1990 Annotated Memorandum from the Search Committee to
the Steering Committee.
The Trustees unanimously approved the Search Committee's
recommendation.

EAST LANSING, MICIDGAN 48824-1022
Phone: 517/353-5038 Fax: 517/336-1327
An alliance to promote giving, volunteering and a strong, effective nonprofit sector in Michigan.
Minutes
of the
MNF Membership Committee Meeting
Wednesday. April 3. 1991 -- 10:00 to 12:00
(421 W. Kalamazoo Street, Lansing-- Third Floor Conference Room)
Trustees Present: B. Goldman (Chair), J. King, L. Young
Staff present: D. Clarke, M. Lewis
1. Welcome and Call to Order. B. Goldman welcomed the Committee and called the
meeting to order at 10:05.
2.
Review of the Minutes. Minutes of the March 19, 1991 meeting were approved as
corrected.
3. Review of the Proposed Membership Structure. J. King and M. Lewis reported on the
related Finance Committee meeting on March 27, where the issue of membership dues
was briefly discussed and a special Finance Subcommittee on Membership Dues was
appointed. J. King will attend that meeting on April 18, and B. Goldman will also try
to attend.
Membership Committee members reaffirmed that this Committee is responsible for
developing the conceptual framework and guidelines for membership, not the specific
dollar amounts, which will be proposed by the Finance Committee.
4.
Review of the proposed Bylaws Amendment. The Committee approved the proposed
Bylaws Amendment, with several revisions:
Article 1(1), end of the second paragraph: "At-Large Members shall serve
terms of two years and may succeed themselves. Elected Associate Members
shall serve two-year terms and may not succeed themselves more than once."
Article 1(2), next to last paragraph: "shall be elected" (not "selected")
Article 1(2), end of the last paragraph: "All Trustees shall have equal rights and
privileges."
Article III(2): "At-Large Members shall serve two-year terms and may succeed
themselves. Elected Associate Members shall serve two-year terms and may not
succeed themselves more than once."
�The ~endment ~ill allow five new Board positions, to be elected from among the
nonvotmg Assoc1ate Members.
After some discussion, the Committee was unable to resolve the confusion over
names of membership categories (e.g., the use of "members" for both voting and nonvoting positions). This issue was therefore postponed to a future discussion.
In a related discussion, concern was expressed about
certain confusing passages in the Bylaws. However, the
Committee agreed that none of them represented serious
obstacles at the moment. Instead, the Committee will
recommend that the Board conduct a complete review of
the Bylaws at the end of Year 3.
5.
Recommendations of a Dues/Contribution Structure. The Committee agreed to
recommend to the Finance Committee that a "stairstep" design for dues would be much
preferable to either of the standard "percentage of budget" models.
6.
Initial Discussion of an Associate Membership Campaign. Committee members agreed
that a membership campaign could be developed over the summer and mounted in the
fall, giving the Committee nearly two years to build the membership base before the
end of the Kellogg grant in June 1993.
7.
Follow-up Tasks and Assigments to Staff. The Committee requested that a summary of
the Finance Subcommittee on Membership meeting be sent to each of them.
The Committee also noted for the next meeting that they must develop a clearer
definition of policies and procedures for nominations, and must also consider the
transition of new members and procedures for delinquent members (e.g., those who
default on dues).
8. The Meeting adjourned at 12:00.

Memorandum
To: MNF Executive Committee
From: Robert E. Ivory, Finance Committee Chairman
Subject:
Date:
Proposed Budget Changes using 1990-91 Surpluses
May 1, 1991
Based on the recommendations of the 4/23 Finance Committee
meeting, our Executive Director spoke with Joel Orosz (our
Kellog.g Program Officer) about budget changes utilizing some of
our budget surpluses from the first grant year . Based on those
discussions and the Committee's further deliberations on May 1,
the MNF Finance Committee unanimously recommends the changes
outlined below, using 1990-91 surpluses.
Please Note: We now have preliminary
approval to rollover our program funding
surpluses into programs for the second year.
The following proposed budget changes
leave those program surpluses intact, and
draw only from personnel and administrative
surpluses, while still leaving comfortable
surpluses in every line item.
I.
Creation of a New 1991-92 Staff Position from 1990-91
Personnel Budget surpluses
We have preliminary approval from the W.K. Kellogg
Foundation to use most of the personnel budget surpluses for a
new staff position in the second year: Administrative Assistant
(salary range:
$24,000 to 28,000, plus 20% fringe benef i ts) .
That position is built into the Core Budget and the proposed
membership income, so it will be covered by new income in years 3
and thereafter.
RATIONALE:
In the first six start-up months, a
complete staff of two was entirely adequate. Now, however,
that all MNF committees are operating, and now that field
contacts are increasingly important, a third pair of hands
is critical for basic operations. This position will become
ever more important as we expand our internships and
program-related staff.
�Responsibilities of this person will include:
coordinating meetings and managing conferences, providing
staff support to committees, supervising students interns,
managing memberships, producing the newsletter, managing
office staff, and other duties under the direction of the
Executive Director.
The MNF Finance Committee unanimously
recommends approval of the creation of this
new staff position, authorizinq the Executive
Director to fill the position at the
beqinninq of the second qrant year (June
1991).
II.
Funding for additional Computer Technology. including a
small Local Area Network (LAN) and software
We also have preliminary approval from the Kellogg
Foundation to transfer up to $11,500 from administrative
surpluses (rent, postage, phone, copying, printing) to expand
MNF's office technology, in order to accommodate the new staff
member and anticipated program needs during the next few years.
(A comfortable surplus will still be left in each line item.)
RATIONALE: According to Joel Orosz, the Kellogg
Foundation's intent is to support the start-up of the Forum,
including preparing MNF for the years ahead. That includes
investing in systems that will last and grow with MNF,
rather than (as he put it) "cobbling together enough to get
by."
With the new staff member, MNF will need one additional
computer. One computer has already reached memory capacity,
and both current computers must be upgraded to handle
desktop publishing software. With added interns and any
program-related staff, MNF's needs will grow.
With- advice from Joel Orosz and other Kellogg
Foundation staff, our Executive Director ls exploring ways
to expand MNF's computer capacity in light on long-range
needs, including "networking" current and one additional
computers and adding related software. In addition, at
Kellogg's suggestion, she is looking into the purchase of a
laptop computer for use in the field.
The MNF Finance committee unanimously
recommends approval of this budqet chanqe
transferrinq up to $11,500 from 1990-91
surpluses to the "Furniture/Equipment"
cateqory, for use in upqradinq MNF's computer
systems and related office technoloqy.

Summary of Small Group Reports
from the
10/16/90 Meeting of the MNF Board of Trustees
I.
"To promote the awareness of Michigan's nonprofit sector"
Group 1 concluded that a great deal is being done to make
the public aware of specific seqments of the nonprofit
sector, but little is being done to promote general
awareness of the sector as a whole. The group discussed
four steps which could be taken to address this information
gap:
1)Clarify public understanding of the identity of
the nonprofit sector
2)Combine resources of member agencies to raise
the generalawareness
J)Convene educational, legislative, and media
groups to educate them
4)Find and recognize outstanding nonprofits
II. "To promote the effectiveness of Michigan's nonprofit sector"
Group 2 discussed the concept of effectiveness and discussed
ten ways in which they felt the overall effectiveness of
nonprofits could be increased:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)
8)
9)
10)
Share information
Broker technical expertise
Form a clearinghouse of ideas
Share program and service successes
Coordinate advocacy on issues of concern
Offer professional developmental services (promote
expertise for nonprofits)
Find ways to introduce philanthropy into public
education and the general community
Increase positive image of nonprofits (e.g.,
through the press)
Emphasize connection between non- and for-profit
sectors
Promote the sector's ability to communicate
successes
�III "To advance the cause of voluntarism"
Group 3 discussed the need to {1) promote greater public
understanding of the rationale for volunteering, and (2)
involve schools and colleges in volunteer efforts to foster
a lifelong commitment to volunteering by today's youth. The
group made two recommendations:
IV.
1}
MNF should be supportive of Michigan's volunteer
institutions, including at least the thirteen
volunteer centers and the United Ways, as they
prepare for the President's Points of Light
Foundation media blitz and its implications for
Michigan.
2)
A voluntarism coordinating committee needs to be
established through the MNF. This committee would
most appropriately be chaired by George Romney.
"To advance the cause of philanthropy"
Group 4 discussed ten proposals which they felt would
advance the cause of philanthropy:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)
Research and analyze contribution data in Michigan
in order to determine where gaps exist. This
information should be provided to the Media.
Initiate a "Give 5" campaign.
Disseminate information on the standards of
fundraising.
Educate organizations on the Charitable
Solicitation Act.
Focus on education {K-12). Also focus on foreign
companies.
Aim to help philanthropy become more pluralistic,
i.e., to include minorities.
MNF can provide information on various nonprofits,
in order to encourage others to improve and
collaborate {e.g., for greater costeffectiveness).

Your ideas and help are needed to help shape the new
Youth Service Michigan plan.
Dozens of Michigan leaders are working on a statewide
framework -- a vision to provide quality community service
opportunities for every Michigan youth.
If successful, this
plan will bring new Federal dollars into Michigan, to help
communities strengthen their youth programs and involve
youth as partners in community problem-solving. It will
also create a sustainable vision for Michigan communities.
Do you believe this ia a worthy goal? If so, then your
ideas and commitment are needed at this critical time.

How might this work in your community? What pieces are
already in place for a community-wide plan? How would
your company or organization help? To be successful,
many groups must collaborate: schools, business and
industry, churches, arts and health care agencies,
united ways, and many more. Can your community serve as
a model to help others accomplish this teamwork?
You may be hearing from others about this plan, and we
urge you to respond as quickly as possible. The timeframe
is very shortt The Michigan Nonprofit Forum joins with the
Council of Michigan Foundations and many others to assist
with the planning process. So, if you prefer, please write

Impact Survey of Budget Reductions, Michigan Council
for the Arts
February 21, 1991
For your information, I enclose a recent survey of the
immediate impact of state budget cuts on the Michigan nonprofit
arts community. The survey was limited to grantees of the
Michigan Council for the Arts, which conducted the survey, and it
focussed on financial liabilities, loss of jobs, cancelled
activities, numbers of students impacted, and related issues.
If you have questions, please feel free to contact me, or
call Bunny Goldman, Executive Director of the Michigan Council
for the Arts:
313/256-3735.
Several other associations are conducting impact surveys,
and others are compiling examples of successful responses and
coping strategies. As this information comes in, I will keep you
all informed.
If you are aware of other surveys or reports that have
sector-wide implications, would you please let me know? This is
a time when information will be a critical ingredient for
constructive dialogue and action.

1.
Describe the aspects of your organization that need
strengthening or expansion.
Identify your priorities and
explain why you selected them.
Our underdeveloped communication system now stands as a
significant barrier to effective fulfillment of our mission.
(See mission statement/Executive Summary)
The clearinghouse function rests at the··· he .. r-t-. of the
design of this organization.
However, the cle~~~ghcuse is
only one among many implementation responsibilities carried
by the single fulltime professional staff person (with one
support stat f person) .
It has become apparent,. none the 1 ess,
that the clearinghouse function must become operational
cuickly. in order for the Michigan Nonprofit Forum to
functiqn in all qther areas qf its missiqn.
Once it is made
operational, staff and interns can use and maintain the
system to support MNF programs.
Background.
The Michigan Nonprofit Forum was designed
to interface and augment services to nonprofits already
provided in Michigan, and then to achieve goals only
possible through sector-wide collaboration.
Many of the services just now emerging in other states
are already provided by Michigan organizations such as the
Michigan League for Human Services, the Michigan Council for
the Arts, and the Michigan Ecumenical Forum -- yet without
reaching all nonprofits, and without achieving the "synergy "
which a sector-wide alliance might achieve.
The Michigan
Nqnprofit Forum was desiQned tp achieye that synerQY through
communication, planning and collaborative action.
Example:
As a result of MNF "s efforts, we are now
working with the Michigan League for Human Services,
the Michigan Environmental Council, the Battle Creek
Urban League, the Detroit News and many local nonprofit
partners in five Michigan cities to implement the
�-3must accelerate development of the clearinghouse function -gathering, synthesizing and disseminating information in
specific topical areas -- in order to move ahead in each of
our mission areas.
We must also accelerate the development
of communication "hubs" around the state -- collaborative
arrangements with local agencies which participate in the
emerging computer hook-up, "fax tree," and other
communication systems, and which serve as dissemination
points to local communities of nonprofits.
We must also orient/train our collaborators to use the
systems;
we must provide test information to demonstrate
its worth;
and we must evaluate and adjust the systems to
best serve the needs of communities and the sector
statewide.
Also, since these "communication technologies " are at
the heart of the unique services we can offer to Michigan ' s
nonprofit sector, and therefore to potential members, we
must advance this capacity in · order to expand and develop
our membership base.
The core of
Clarification of MNF Memberships.
MNF's membership are its statewide associations -Organizational Members -- which represent nonduplicative fields in the nonprofit sector.
Each
Organizational Member brings two representatives to the
MNF Board, one a rotating elected practitioner from one
of their members (e.g., a local human service agency or
school), and the other the appointed executive serving
the field statewide.
This stable core insures that the
policy-making board includes representation from these
major parts of the nonprofit sector.
In addition, the MNF Bylaws provide for Associate
Members, who may be any other association or network
related to the nonprofit sector, and for Individual
Members.
The Board is now developing these
membership$.
2.
Describe the program, service or administrative
functjon that your on~anization would like to beQin or
improve.
Our current budget was designed to support the
operation of the communication function through rotating
student internships -- short commitments by students, for
example to review an area of cutting-edge research or
practice and prepare an " issue paper " or column for the
newsletter -- and by pooled information from our member
organizations (such as research universities, government
relations staffs of United Ways, planning staffs of
Community Action Agencies and Urban Leagues, and so on).
�-5-
(b) arranging with researchers and ins~itutes to
include MNF in early circulation, and
(c) establishing procedures for compiling
information from staffs of member agencies.
(3)
Implement the electronic mail utility, beginning
with the MNF board members as a test case.
This
involves orienting participants, loading useful
materials, and assessing use and making adjustments.
(4)
Use our new desktop publishing software to produce
the mastheads and formats for the MNF newsletter,
Issues Briefs and Scholars Updates, as well as other
occasional publications.
Produce initial issues, and
market-test them.
(Eventually, these will be services
to members and available on a subscription basis, a
necessary source of income after our first year.)
(5)
Compile logistical information for planning
local/regional roundtables, such as meeting spaces of
various sizes within nonprofit organ~zatLans - in various
Michigan cities.

What are the potential benefits that the nonprofit
Sector in your area can ~ain from this service?
If
possible, quantify these benefits or describe the
qualitative impact.
The benefits of MNF's emerging communication resource
for Michigan's nonprofit sector are still anecdotal, but we
can begin to see the pattern of future benefits:
-- Because we are able to report new solid numbers
defining the sector ' s place in Michigan ' s economy, we
have achieved increased press interest and attention.
With our systems operational, we intend to keep key
journalists apprised of critical sector news;
(We now
have nearly 350 journalists on our list -- that will
increase as a result of our Michigan Communication
Project, described above. l
-- One quick-and-dirty study by a nonprofit in
Michigan ' s "thumb" area clarified the sector's role in
local employment and expenditures.
Another in Grand
Rapids (in process) will compile the first salary and
wage data for Michigan ' s nonprofit sector.
We have
already referred more than a dozen other communities to
�-75.
Describe some other program, service or
administrative system your Qroyp has started and run, that
indicates YOu woyld be successful with this new endeavor.
Several projects are described in #1 above.
In
addition, we will conduct the third annual
Grantmakers/Grantseekers Workshop on May 10, and the program
is fully committed (program attached).
Although MNF was not
yet funded last spring, current MNF staff coordinated last
year's Workshop, attended by nearly 1200 nonprofit
professionals.
6.
What level of financial assistance do you need?
We request a grant of $15,000, to cover the cost of a
Special Program Assistant and related phone, postage,
.copying and travel, in order to accelerate the development
of our communication system.
For us to fulfill our mission
effectively, the development of this function must occur
now, quickly, rather than parallel to other maturing
systems.
Most of the costs of this endeavor are elready budgeted
or contributed.
The bulletin board itself is-. dcnated ·. by the
Michigan Community College Association.
The modems · (for ten
"hubs" per year) are included in our Kellogg grant.
The
student assistants, who will maintain the information system
once operational, are already lined up as volunteers and
rotating interns (included in the Kellogg grant).
Information from our members is contributed.
Software is
already purchased, and publications are budgeted.
What we need is an extra pair of hands, and some
technical expertise, to complete our communication system as
soon as possible.

It is with great pleasure that I am able to offer on behalf of the Michigan
Ecumenical Forum this letter of unqualified support for the attached grant
proposal from the Michigan Nonprofit Forum. The Michigan Ecumenical Forum,
the successor body to the Michigan Council of Churches, is a nonprofit
organization of the major churches and regional/local ecumenical organizations throughout the State of Michigan.
As an organizational member of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum, the Michigan
Ecumenical Forum is excited about the mission and goals of the Michigan
Nonprofit Forum. This excitement was particularly reinforced by the
response of a meeting of the Michigan Church Leaders to a presentation
on the Michigan Nonprofit Forum by Maryellen Lewis, Executive Director of
the Michigan Nonprofit Forum. The excitement lay in the importance to the
Michigan Ecumenical Forum and its members in receiving throughout the year
cutting-edge information on the nonorofit sector and voluntarism from the
Michigan Nonprofit Forum's network, as well as in having the possibility
for feedback. In an age of raoid communications, the Michigan Nonprofit
Forum's i nfonnati on-sharing vi a a orooosed computer b'u 11 eti n board and
electronic mail is -vital to our membershio in keeping abreast with the
emerging issues revolving around the nonorofit sector and voluntarism.
On behalf of the Michigan Ecume~ical Forum, I urge you to give a positive
response to this grant oroposal from the Michigan Nonprofit Forum.
Sincerely,

�PRINCIPLES OF JURISDICTION & CONSENSUS*
MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM PUBLIC POLICY COMMITTEE
Given the wonderful diversity of the nonprofit sector, which is one of its
greatest strengths, and the importance of broad consensus and a strong
spirit of mutuality when addressing matters of public policy and public
interest, the following principles, as articulated at the Fall 1990 initial
meeting of the Board of Directors, are intended to bring focus to the work
of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum's Public Policy Committee:
I.
MATTERS OF COMMON CONCERN: The Michigan Nonprofit Forum
Public Policy Committee shall address those topics of
general concern to the entire nonprofit sector, which cut
across and are not limited to specific subdivisions or
facets of the nonprofit sector.
II.
POSITIONS OF MUTUAL INTEREST: The Public Policy Committee
shall develop and recommend to the Board of Directors
formal positions and program initiatives (in cooperation
with the Program Committee) which clearly reflect the
mutual interests and common concern of all segments of the
nonprofit sector represented within the Michigan Nonprofit
Forum, and shall not recommend formal positions when such
broad consensus and mutuality of interest cannot be achieved.
A.
INFORMATION SHARING: The Public Policy Committee
shall serve as a clearinghouse for identification and
exchange of information on policy issues of concern to
the nonprofit sector and activities and initiatives of
the various Members of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum
which are of interest to other Forum Members.
B. PROGRAM INITIATIVES: The Public Policy Committee may
recommend to the Michigan Nonprofit Forum Board of
Directors professional development program initiatives
to serve Forum Members in the area of public policy.
III.
UNANIMITY/CONSENSUS: The By-Laws of the Michigan
Nonprofit Forum (Article III, Section 7) stipulate that a
unanimous vote is required for adoption of public policy
positions by the Board of Directors; therefore, the Public
Policy Committee as a practical matter shall operate on a
principle of unanimous consensus for submitting
recommendations to the Board of Directors.
IV.
PROCEDURAL ROLE: The role of the Public Policy Committee
is to serve as a working committee for discussing and
internally analyzing matters of public policy and
submitting recommendations to the Board of Directors; the
Public P alley Committee in itself does not have the
authority to adopt or announce positions or declarations.
*Adopted by Michigan Nonprofit Forum
Public P alley Committee on April 4, 1991.

Proposed Position Statement
on the
Bulk Mail Rate Increase for Nonprofit Organizations
BACKGROUND
In the past, nonprofit organizations have paid a lower, or
."preferred" rate to mail bulk materials, including programrelated materials and solicitation letters for tax-exempt
contributions. In February, that rate increased substantially,
and current proposals could increase the rate in october by as
much as another 45%.
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT THE BOARD OF THE MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM
UNANIMOUSLY ADOPT A POSITION URGXRG FULL WORDING OF THB
PRBWBRRBD BULK MAILING RATB WOR NONPROFIT
ORGARIZATIONS.
FURTHER, THAT THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BE AUTHORIZED
TO CONVEY .THIS POSITION TO THE MICHIGAN CONGRESSIONAL
'DELEGATION AND MEMBERS OF THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE, AND
TO NOTIFY MNF TRUSTEES AND OTHER ·NONPROFIT LEADERS
THROUGHOUT MICHIGAN.
Rationale:
In order to maintain the rate at post-February levels,
Congress must earmark $649 million specifically for this purpose.
Unless congress appropriates full funding in the next few weeks,
the nation's nonprofit sector will face a significant handicap in
the challenging years ahead.
Both the House and Senate budget committees have recommended
reduced funding. In the next week or so, their recommendations
will go to a Conference Committee that has yet to be appointed
after which allocation decisions will be made by Congress.
Time is limited, but the decision has such far-reaching
implications that it deserves our deliberate participation.
�RECOMMENDED POSITION PAPER
ON
FEDERAL TAX DEDUCTIBILITY OF CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS
MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM
Background
Historically, Congress has provided in the Internal Revenue Code for the
full deductibility from income taxes of charitable contributions to
recognized nonprofit organizations holding Federal 501( c) tax-exempt status
and organized and operated for religious, charitable, sdentific,
educational and certain other purposes. For many years, that full
deductibility of charitable contributions has been available to taxpayers
filing Schedule A as part of the long-form tax filing.
In 1981, the Congress established a new "non-itemizer 11 charitable
contribution deduction of up to $100 for persons who file the short form
and do not utilize Schedule A. Regrettably, the non-itemizer deduction was
repealed in 1986.
Then in 1990, the Congress established a floor or threshhald of 3% of
income to be subtracted from Schedule A deductions (including charitable
contributions) before recognizing them for tax purposes, for persons filing
individual returns with income above $100,000 and for joint filers
reporting income above $150,000. This new threshhold provision in the
Internal Revenue Code will "sunset" or expire in 1996 unless it is renewed
by the Congress.
RECOMMENDED MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM POSITION
THE PUBLIC POLICY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT THE MICHIGAN
NONPROFIT FORUM ADOPT A POSITION URGING CONGRESS NOT TO RENEW (AND
CERTAINLY NOT TO INCREASE) THE 3% FLOOR OR SUBTRACTION FROM
SCHEDULE A DEDUCTIONS (INCLUDING CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS) FROM
TAXPAYERS WITH HIGHER INCOMES, BECAUSE SUCH A FLOOR IS A
PHILOSOPHICAL AND PRACTICAL DISCOURAGEMENT TO CHARITABLE
CONTRIBUTIONS WHICH ARE SO CRITICAL TO THE ABILITY OF NONPROFIT
ORGANIZATIONS TO PERFORM SERVICES WHICH ARE SO VITAL TO THE HEALTH,
EDUCATION AND WELFARE OF THE NATION, PARTICULARLY THOSE OF MODEST
MEANS OR FROM DISADVANTAGED BACKGROUNDS, AND WHICH ENORMOUSLY
REDUCE THE DEMANDS AND BURDENS ON GOVERNMENT; AND
FURTHER, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM
BOARD OF DIRECTORS ADOPT A POSITION URGING CONGRESS TO RESTORE THE
NON-ITEMIZER CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS TO FURTHER FOSTER THE
SERVICES CITED ABOVE AND TO ENCOURAGE TAXPAYERS OF MODEST MEANS TO
CONTRIBUTE; AND
FURTHER, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BE
AUTHORIZED TO COMMUNICATE THESE POSITIONS AND CONCERNS AS
APPROPRIATE.
�-2Rationale
Generous charitable g1vmg and the eleemosynary spirit and hallmarks of our
American society are absolutely essential to the ability of the nonprofit
sector to serve so substantially the general welfare, health, education and
cultural vitality of our pluralistic nation. Enlightened tax policies
which recognize and encourage charitable contributions to qualifying
nonprofit organizations are critically important, and have long been
recognized in American law.
Both the repeal of the non-itemizer deduction (granted by a recent
innovation in tax policy) and the imposition of a 3\ floor on Schedule A
deductions for higher income taxpayers are distressing erosions in such
enlightened tax policy toward the nonprofit sector. The continuation
beyond its "sunset" date and any increase in the 3\ threshhold would
constitute a very serious and damaging discouragement and depression in
charitable giving. Congress should be reminded of this regularly between
now and the sunset date.

RECOMMENDED POSITION
ON
FIHANCIAL ACCOQNTING STANQARQS BOARP
NONPROFIT ACCQUNTING PRQPOSALS
Backgrounci
The Financial Accountinq Standards Board (FASB), which sets
recoqnized standards for financial accountinq and auditinq, has
proposed three very siqnificant chanqes in nonprofit corporation
accountinq. The proposals threaten to erode financial support
for nonprofit organizations, create onerous administrative and
valuation burdens and distort the financial picture of nonprofit
corporations.
These proposed FASB standard chanqes would: 1.) Require
nonprofit orqanizations to count pledqes as actual revenues
(rather than the general practice by nonprofit& currently of
recordinq pledqes at the time the cash payment is received); 2.)
Require nonprofits to record as revenue the value of all
contributions of works of art or other items of historical
siqnificance and to appraise virtually all such items in order to
do so; and 3.) Require the value of services contributed to
nonprofit orqanizations to be recorded as current revenues.
Responses to and comments on these proposed changes are beinq
souqht by the Financial Accountinq Standards Board before it
renders a final decision.
RECOMMENQED MICBIGAH NOHPRQFIT FORUM POSITION
THAT THE PUBLIC POLICY COMMITTEE RECOMMEND THAT THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS OP THE MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM ADOPT A FORMAL POSITION
EMPHATICALLY OPPOSING THE PROPOSED FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
BOARD'S CHANGES TO REQUIRE NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS TO RECORD AS
CURRENT REVENUES PLEDGES OF CONTRIBUTIONS, CONTRIBUTED WORKS OF
ART AND ITEMS OP HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE, AND CONTRIBUTED
SERVICES, WHICH WOULD DISTORT THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, CREATE ONEROUS ADMINISTRATIVE AND
APPRAISAL BURDENS, IMPOSE MISLEADING AND INACCURATE ASSUMPTIONS,
AND POTENTIALLY ERODE FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR THE NONPROFIT SECTOR;
AND
FURTHER, THAT THE MICHIGAN NONPROFIT FORUM EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR BE ASKED TO CONVEY THIS POSITION TO THE FINANCIAL
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD.
�RATIONALE
1.)
The FASB standard to require accrual recordinq of
pledqes as current revenues would force nonprofit
orqanizations to abandon the current practice qenerally
of recordinq pledqes at the time the cash payment is
received. The proposed standard fails to recoqnize
that 100' of pledqes do not always translate into
actual revenues. The line between a firm pledqe and a
statement of intent is not always clear. Thouqh there
have been some court decisions supportinq leqal
enforcement of pledqes, it is ridiculous to imply that
nonprofit& would or could qo to court to enforce
pledqes. To do so would alienate donors and depress
the willinqness of people to pledqe. And to count
pledqes as revenues distorts the financial statements,
showinq a hiqher level of income than is accurate or
realistic.
·
2.)
Requirinq donated art and historical works to be
appraised and recorded as revenues would be an
unreasonable and unnecessarily costly imposition. Such
qifts are rarely assets which could be sold at their
appraised value to produce revenues, if the donor
desired to do so. And since donors qive out of a
desire to support a charitable cause rather than on the
financial strenqth or statements of the orqanization,
the request is simply unnecessary.
3.)
To record contributed services as revenues would create
an administrative niqhtmare, forcinq major new systems
to track such services and methods of valuinq them.
And philosophically, it desecrates or trivializes the
spirit of voluntarism which is at the heart of the
nonprofit sector, translatinq it from somethinq which
is unique to just another thinq with a price taq
attached to it.

Pro;posed Sources of Other Income for 1991-92
(prepared for the October 1 meeting of the MNF Finance Committee)
In 1991-92, a total of$12,163 must be raised from sources other than the W.K.
Kellogg Foundation ($160,163), the ten Founding Member Organintions ($10,000), MNF
subscriptions ($2,000), and the Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar (which is heavily
subsidized and not intended to produce excess revenue for MNF general support).
On August 6, the MNF Executive Committee approved a budget which proposed the
following sources for that $12,163:
Other Organizational Member Dues
Membership Campaign
General Contributions
2,000
2,000
8,163
Based on the proposals of the Membership Committee, these are some potential
sources for the $8,163 of General Contributions:
Individual Trustees (now 36 persons)
New "Network Associates" (10 @$100-500)
Agency/Individual" Associates" (40 @$50)
Other Individual Donors
General Support Grants
3,000
1,000
2,000

Also, the Year 1 budget includes $9000 non-recurring start-up costs, but Years 2 & 3
include larger program budgets. Costs for outside evaluation vary from year to year, highest
in the second year. Years 2 & 3 include a 5% inflation factor on most line items, required by
the Kellogg Foundation's program officer in the design phase. However, these increases are
moderated by minimal evaluation costs built into the design of Year 3.

An alliance to promote giving, volunteering and a strong, effective 110nprojit sector in Michigan.
Annual Prof:ress Report
~
W. K. KellOf:f: Foundation
(Covering the 13-month period from June 1, 1990 through June 30, 1991)
I. Introduction
In May 1990, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation awarded a three-year grant to the United
Way of Michigan for implementation of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum-- an alliance of
organizations and individuals to promote giving, volunteering and a strong, effective
nonprofit sector in Michigan. Previously MNF had operated since August 1988 as an
informal alliance, which then developed collaborative plans for a staffed entity to serve a
sector-wide mission:
to promote the awareness and effectiveness of Michigan's nonprofit sector.
and to advance the cause of voluntarism and philanthropy in the state.
Beginning on June 1, 1990 --initially supported by this grant and by additional funds from
the founding organizations-- MNF was established under the direction of a Steering
Committee composed of board leadership (volunteers) and executives (staff) of ten founding
organizations (quickly expanded to sixteen statewide associations and organizations, and five
at-large members-- list appended).
This first annual Progress Report reviews the original vision of the founders and how
that vision has taken shape in Michigan's rapidly evolving context.
II. Summary of Proposed Project
Creation of the Staffed Alliance. The newly-staffed Michigan Nonprofit Forum
was created as a special kind of organization with a unique structure. It was not intended to
be a free-standing organization, fully self-sufficient and independent of its members.
Instead, the original design recognized Michigan's rich landscape of well-established and
emerging networks serving nonprofit issues. Rather than create another competitor in a
time of scarce resources, the founders sought to create a mechanism for finding common
ground -- shared concerns, mutual opportunities, and collective "blind spots -- and for
mobilizing joint action. They reasoned that:
�"Within Michigan's nonprofit sector, many associations already exist to serve
particular fields, such as health, human services, and education. Much like a
chamber of commerce or a trade association, these constituency-controlled
associations serve the needs of their members through advocacy (to impact tax laws
and public policy), joint purchasing to achieve economies of scale, information
dissemination, and/or training and technical assistance. Even so, many-- possibly
most- nonprofits in Michigan, particularly medium and small agencies, are not
reached by these services and operate in relative isolation.
"Further, even these existing associations of nonprofits do not often work
cooperatively and have no formal mechanism for planning together with the closelyallied communities of funders and government agencies. Instead, fragmentation
within the sector, and lack of a comprehensively-informed public, hamper
constructive development.
" ... [T]he Michigan Nonprofit Forum will, for the frrst time, create a
statewide mechanism for dialog, planning and cooperative action among all
stakeholders in the nonprofit sector. . .. The activities of the Forum will address
voluntarism, philanthropy and the nonprofit sector not as proprietary functions but as
public ~oods, which broadly affect the state's economy, polity and quality of life, and
which therefore merit careful analysis and planning, human resource and
organizational development, informed public discussion and policy-development, and
dependable support.
" ... Toward that end, the MNF will promote dialogue, cooperation and
collaboration across fields (health, human services, arts and humanities, community
development, education, religion) and economic sectors (nonprofit, for-profit and
public) to address mutual problems, strengthen the sector as a whole, and raise public
awareness and recognition of the nonprofit sector's role and significant contributions
in Michigan." (1990 Proposal to the Kellogg Foundation, pp. 2-3)
As originally conceived, MNF would operate with minimal staff (an executive and a
secretary) and maximum participation by organizations and individuals on issues of shared
concern.
Mission Areas and Proposed Activities. Within MNF' s broad mission, the founders
included four broad areas for collaborative action:
1. To promote public awareness and understanding of Michigan's nonprofit
sector: what it is, how it functions, and what part it plays in
communities and the state.
2. To promote the effectiveness of the sector.
3. To advance the cause of voluntarism in the state.
4. To advance the cause of philanthropy in the state.
2
�The founders' deliberations recognized that a wide array of activities were already underway
in Michigan to serve these broad goals, and that MNF would be "the new kid on the block,"
seeking to build bridges, identify common ground and overcome turf issues through mutual
benefit. The founders also recognized that new and overlooked viewpoints must be included
in the dialog to achieve new insight and effective action.
To accomplish its mission, MNF would undertake activities in these areas:
(A) Dialogue: "The Forum will regularly convene discussions among sector
leaders and stakeholders on key and emerging issues . . . [to] serve both as a
resource for understanding and a catalyst for further action. Further, through
cooperation with existing networks, ... the Forum will promote dialogue
throughout all levels of the sector, in order to raise the quality and extent of
local discussion and informed action in the state as a whole."
(B) Infonnation Sharine and Research: "The Forum will compile and
disseminate current information and insights ... [and] serve as a responsive
clearinghouse of information on the sector -- including an interactive computer
network with hubs across the state -- ... raising awareness and understanding
of emerging issues. . .. The Forum will also work to strengthen the network
among Michigan scholars ... [to] promote collaborative analysis and broader
reporting on the role, diversity, capacity and impact of the nonprofit sector in
Michigan."
(C) Public Policy Infonnation: "In addition to its broader informationsharing function, the MNF will have a particular emphasis on stimulating
greater awareness and understanding of public policy issues that effect the
sector as a whole. . .. [T]he MNF will become a hub for gathering and
disseminating critical information on sector-wide issues of common concern,
and for promoting broader dialogue and understanding. "
(D) Capacity-Buildine: "[T]hrough its member organizations and others
throughout the state, MNF will identify existing in-state resources for
technical assistance and for education in philanthropy and voluntarism, as well
as existing areas of need and interest in the state ... [in order to] increase
awareness of [existing] resources and serve as a catalyst for collaborative
planning and action [for unmet needs and underserved regions]."
(E) Annual Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar: "As a centerpiece for its
work, MNF will ... bring the sector's stakeholders together for day long
presentations and discussions .... " (1990 Proposal, pp. 4-5)
In its first year, MNF would make progress in each of these areas, as part of an
overall strategy to create the alliance by demonstrating its worth. define it by principled
experience and example. then recruit from its success.

�ill. FirSt-Year Proems
In its first year, the MNF board has successfully created a working organization to
serve its shared agenda. Under the board's leadership and with the support of the W.K.
Kellogg Foundation, MNF conducted programs and created an operating framework of
broad-based input and deliberations. From this strong beginning, MNF is already preparing
to take on some of the largest, most complex issues facing the sector in its second year.
A. Dialowe. MNF founders sought to create a mechanism for achieving shared
understandings and collaborative action across Michigan's nonprofit sector. In MNF' s
original design, dialogue was both a goal in itself, and also a means for refining MNF's
continuing mission and timely objectives. In its first year, MNF successfully convened key
leaders and conducted action-oriented discussions on a wide range of topics, testing out the
strategy's viability and usefulness in a variety of settings.
To begin, MNF's first board meeting was structured as a forum, with representative
small groups (each a cross-section of the sector) identifying top priority issues facing the
sector. MNF's thirty-seven Trustees, consisting of voluntary and professional leadership
from across the sector, thus defmed MNF's first action framework (appended).
In the months that followed, many of those action plans were implemented. In
particular, the issue of voluntarism became an organizing theme for a series of forums
leading to a statewide Campaign for Voluntarism (to begin at the Grantmakers/Grantseekers
Seminar IV on April24, 1992). Three forums were held (December 20, March 18 and
April 11), bringing together leaders from thirty-seven statewide organizations involved with
voluntarism (roster appended). As a result, a comprehensive Michigan Campaign for
Voluntarism has been designed, with commitments by each of the participating organizations
to conduct related activities (design appended). In addition, an article was produced by one
participating organization, the Michigan Chamber of Commerce, and distributed to its
37,000 subscribers statewide. Other dissemination plans are being developed by several
others, including the Michigan Association of Volunteer Administrators, the Michigan
School Volunteer Programs, the Michigan Society of Association Executives. and the
Michigan Association of Broadcasters.
In addition, MNF conducted two public policy meetings (Apri14, April 26),
bringing together nonprofit and civic leaders in MNF's Public Policy Committee to discuss
pressing public policy issues affecting the sector. These discussions resulted in a framework
for collective deliberation, an agenda of top priority issues for further exploration, and three
position statements on critical issues, subsequently adopted by the MNF board (discussed
further in section C below).
The 1990-91 planning committee for the Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar also
produced cross-sector dialogue and insight. The GGS Planning Committee was structured to
convene funders and fundseekers from diverse fields, to plan a statewide conference to
benefit the nonprofit community as a whole. As a result of these planning meetings (August
7, October 2 and February 11), committee leadership recognized that this committee -- in
4
�addition to producing the annual GGS Seminar -- itself exemplifies the Forum's mission and
represents a continuing opportunity to build alliances and achieve mutual understanding on
difficult issues. The 1991-92 Committee has been structured with this in mind: that it
represents a special kind of forum and a continuing opportunity to advance the field.
MNF also conducted several smaller, more specialized or localized forums, consistent
with its original design. For example, because of interest in MNF's work on voluntarism, a
group of nonprofit leaders in Big Rapids convened a group of 13 professionals to meet with
MNF staff, to explore ways to participate in the statewide initiative to start new Voluntary
Action Centers (VACs). Similar meetings were held in Holland, Adrian, Traverse City,
Muskegon, and two in Alma. These local planning efforts are self-sustaining, assisted by the
new state network, Volunteer Centers of Michigan.
MNF also conducted local discussions as part of five workshops in June (in Jackson,
Lansing, Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids and Traverse City) co-sponsored with the Foundation for
American Communications, on media relations for nonprofits. MNF led luncheon
discussions among the 50 to 80 participants, focussing on critical issues, perceived needs,
and potential follow-up activities. Based on those discussions, plans are now being
developed for self-sustaining networks of nonprofit communicators.
In late spring, MNF joined with the Council of Michigan Foundations and other
partners to produce a series of three planning meetings for a statewide Youth Service
Michigan plan. MNF had initiated related discussions among educators and MNF trustees in
the late fall and winter, in response to the National and Community Service Act passed by
Congress in October 1990. Others also recognized this important opportunity for Michigan,
so a natural alliance was created in the spring to produce a plan to position Michigan for the
national competition for funding. MNF' s major contribution was enlisting its Organizational
Members in the planning process, and alerting its networks including nearly 3,000
professionals and citizens, who responded enthusiastically to the opportunity to participate in
the planning process (primarily through letters and calls). The three planning forums
involved nearly 100 Michigan leaders in the formal planning process. Resulting
recommendations are now before the Governor, who is forming a Governor's Commission
on Youth Service Michigan to complete and submit the plan to Washington for potential
funding.
B. Infonnation Sharing. MNF founders also sought to create a hub for the
exchange of information on the sector. The original design included (1) creation of a
distribution system -- through existing networks as well as new avenues -- to circulate
information on critical issues relating to the four mission areas; (2) a responsive
"clearinghouse" function on timely issues; (3) stimulation and then dissemination of new
research on the sector in Michigan; and (4) creation of a computerized bulletin board, to
make information easily accessible across the state. In its first year, MNF made significant
progress in all four areas.
B-1: Distribution System. In the course of the year, MNF has identified 296
network organizations (in addition to Organizational Members) which relate to the nonprofit
5
�sector. These range widely from Volunteer Centers which serve individual communities of
nonprofits, to statewide organizations like the Michigan Orchestra Association. In some
cases, these networks publish information received from MNF in their newsletters; in others,
the organizations have included our information in other communications with members.
In addition, MNF has compiled a growing database of over 4200 nonprofits and
related organizations, segmented so that mailings can be carefully targeted to particular
audiences. (We anticipate that the database will double in 1991-92, based on lists now
identified.) For example, four mailings reported on the work of MNF's Michigan Volunteer
Coalition and plans for Youth Service Michigan - targeted to youth-serving and educational
organizations, as well as to organizations that could serve as strong partners in
comprehensive youth community service designs, such as United Ways and Urban Leagues
(copy of the 6/18 letter attached). Smaller mailings reported regionally on training
opportunities, such as the low-cost workshop on "Nonprofit Corporations and the Law"
conducted by the Howell Chamber of Commerce Oetter attached). Copies of useful research
were distributed, primarily to MNF Organizational Members for their use and distribution
(cover letter for the impact survey of state budget cutbacks on the arts attached).
Plans for 1991-92 include formalizing these communication systems into newsletters
and Issue Papers, mailed to those who join as subscribers and members as well as those in
strategic networks. Plans also include shifting most (not all) dissemination to the Computer
Bulletin Board as this becomes feasible (discussed below).
B-2: Clearinghouse Function. As MNF has become more widely known, calls
have increased requesting a wide range of information. In some cases, calls relate to MNF
mailings -- for example, scores of calls resulted from the mailings on the Youth Service
Michigan plan. Others fall in these general categories: media inquiries, requests for
demographic information on the sector, requests which result in referrals to specific
nonprofit agencies, requests for funding information or technical assistance, and general
requests concerning employment in the sector. With the assistance of our evaluation
advisors, we have designed a form to capture details of these requests, to track the growth
and usefulness of this function. Plans also include creation of various Information Sheets
responding to common inquiries.
During the first eight months, MNF staff made presentations to groups throughout the
state, such as to the regional meetings of the Michigan Association of School Boards and the
United Way of Michigan, and to statewide meetings of the Michigan Association of School
Administrators and denominational leaders convened by the Michigan Ecumenical Forum.
More recently, presentations have been made to non-board organizations, such as the Flint
association of volunteer administrators, the state association of animal advocates, the
Michigan Campus Compact, the Volunteer Centers of Michigan, the Accounting Aid
Society, the Calhoun County elected officials (convened by their state legislator), the
American Association of University Women, and the Social Science Research Bureau
conference on "Privatization of Public Services."
6
�MNF staff also have increasingly been identified as resources for sharing information
and for assisting access to statewide networks -- for example, to assist the "Funding
Fundraising" initiative by the National Society of Fundraising Executives, and the "Into the
Streets" initiative for college student community service, conducted by the Campus Outreach
Opportunity League. Also, the MNF Executive Director now serves as a member of the
Policy Board of the Social Science Research Bureau.
This kind of information dissemination also can serve as a catalyst for innovation or
change. For example, as part of its efforts to assist the promotion of volunteering statewide,
MNF reached out to networks of organizations (such as United Ways, Chambers of
Commerce, and Cooperative Extension offices) in communities that lacked volunteer centers.
As a result, 15 communities have been identified that show interest in starting up volunteer
centers, including several communities (such as Big Rapids, Cadillac and Three Rivers)
which were stimulated by MNF's inquiry. These communities have now been drawn into
the loop of assistance that can be provided by strong, experienced Volunteer Centers through
the Volunteer Centers of Michigan.
Similarly, MNF has helped to spread interest in youth community service programs
through its mailings. In the coming year, we will explore how best to be of assistance to this
movement -- such as convening roundtables to consider curriculum innovations that
incorporate community service, for possible wider implementation. Currently, MNF's
database includes 1,324 persons whose work relates to youth or young adult community
serv1ce.
B-3: Research. MNF convened two scholars roundtables (one at Calvin College and
one at the Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar), to identify interest and promote greater
attention to nonprofit research questions. Mailings continue to keep contact with interested
scholars, and plans are underway to co-sponsor annual or semi-annual roundtables with the
Nonprofit Michigan Project at Michigan State University.
In addition, MNF has served in an advisory role to several colleges considering or
developing academic programs on the nonprofit sector, including Michigan State University
(the MNF Executive Director is a member of their Third Sector Planning Committee), Grand
Valley State University, and Calvin College. MNF staff also work closely with the
Nonprofit Michigan Project, which will share a student intern in 1991-92.
Plans for 1991-92 include developing MNF's ability to serve as a utility for scholars
and nonprofit professionals, by (a) disseminating research insights, (b) communicating
practitioners' concerns in the form of valid research questions, and (c) providing access to
sectorwide data collection for scholars. This will be discussed at the Scholars Roundtables as
well as in MNF's policy and program committees.
B-4: Computer Bulletin Board. As committed in the proposal, a Computer
Bulletin Board has been created within the Michigan Community College Association's
system. However, the work of making that system functional and actually used by the
nonprofit community still remains.
7
�The original plan called for "hubs" around the state, which would receive MNF
information for further, local dissemination, and which would relay local information for
statewide dissemination. This has, in fact, been the MNF operating design, using the mail
and telephone. However, the leap to a computer network has been delayed, for several
reasons:
-- Few nonprofits are in the habit of using computer systems for communications, in
contrast to word processing or data manipulation.
--Although the concept of serving as a "hub" has been discussed with several
networks, actual translation of that general idea into practice will require close
working relationships and experimentation, including significant staff time.
-- The collection of quantities of timely information represents a logistical problem
that is only beginning to be addressed. It will take both numerous interns and
many willing nonprofit professionals. This is a challenge that still lies ahead.
When this problem frrst became apparent early in 1991, MNF submitted a proposal to
the Union Institute for a small grant for a temporary staff person to address it (attached).
The grant was not approved, so the problem of staff time remains the primary obstacle.
C. Public Policy Infonnation. The MNF founders saw a special opportunity for
MNF in the area of public policy. On cross-sector issues, areas of common concern to all
parts of the nonprofit sector, they proposed to create a mechanism for achieving common
understandings and developing action strategies. In its frrst year, MNF initiated sector-wide
consideration of public policy issues and made important contributions to the state and
national debate.
For example, the overarching theme of the Public Policy Committee meetings was
that lack of public understanding -- both of legislators and the voters -- about What is the
nonprofit sector, Why do we have it, What does it do, How does it fit into the puzzle of
government and private sector services, and Why is it worthy of our continued support? As
a result, two major recommendations of the Public Policy Committee have resulted in
progress toward a MNF White Paper on the nonprofit sector, and the first of a possible
series of taped Summits on the issues, bringing together leaders from government, business
and the nonprofit sector (committee roster appended).
In addition, the Public Policy Committee deliberated on several critical policy issues,
resulting in three Position Statements (later approved by the Board of Trustees) concerning:
(1) the proposed increase in the nonprofit postal rate; (2) erosion of the charitable tax
deduction at the federal level; and (3) the new accounting standards proposed by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (attached). As a result, MNF alerted network
agencies throughout the state, as well as key legislators and agencies at the state and national
levels.
8
�In 1991-92, MNF will formalize this information exchange, by identifying a network
of contacts at each Organizational Member and network agency, and by producing Public
Policy Alerts/Updates on an irregular basis. A column in the newsletter will be devoted to
these issues as well. In addition, the Public Policy Committee meetings, which represent
cross-sector gatherings of concerned leaders, will be developed further as informational
forums, possibly with outside speakers/resource persons on tough issues.
D. Capacity-Buildin&. MNF founders did not originally intend to create a large,
staffed organization that would provide extensive direct training and assistance to nonprofit
organizations. Instead, MNF would identify existing opportunities for professional
development and assistance, and serve as an information clearinghouse, a catalyst for
expanded assistance, and a mechanism for joint planning. In its first year, MNF established
itself as an information resource and as a vehicle for collaboration to improve the capacity of
the sector.
MNF contacted universities and groups currently providing training, as well as
colleges considering programs to serve the nonprofit sector. In this work, MNF was guided
by the statewide survey completed by the Council of Michigan Foundations through its
Improving Philanthropy Project, which identified educational programs in philanthropy
currently being conducted in Michigan colleges and universities. MNF currently has
identified 135 researchers and 125 educators interested in the nonprofit sector as a field of
study.
As a result, MNF has collaborated with several providers -- such as the Accounting
Aid Society and Michigan State University-- in the design and implementation of training
programs, and plans are under discussion for more. MNF has also disseminated information
on training opportunities, although this function awaits the completion of the computer
bulletin board for full development.
MNF collected information on needs from GGS participants in 1990 and 1991, and
other needs assessments from around the state are being gathered (soon on a systematic basis,
using a student intern). In the coming year, this information will form the basis of a
Providers Roundtable (hopefully an ongoing planning network), so that nonprofits can
receive quality assistance regardless of geographic location.
In addition, MNF has been working with the Accounting Aid Society to update its
catalog of professionals providing technical services to nonprofits. With the help of a
student intern this fall and winter, the updated text should be available by spring.
MNF has also advised several communities on conferences and workshops for
nonprofits, such as the Jackson Community Foundation and the School of Public
Administration at Grand Valley State University. Because it represents a nexus of
information, MNF can usually provide names of experts in a wide range of fields. This
seems to be a useful service, so plans are underway to compile lists for easy reference on a
variety of topics.
9
�E. Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar. With considerable growth over three
years, the 1991 GG Seminar was conducted on May 10, 1991 and attended by 1,260
professionals:
Health & Human Services
NSFRE
Higher Education
K-12
Arts
Priv/Comm/Corp Funders
Religion
Government
United Ways
Other
40%
21%
11%
8%
8%
6%
5%
4%
1%
13%
GGill established MNF as the sponsor of this event (previously sponsored by the
Council of Michigan Foundations), and gave MNF high visibility-- even providing the debut
for the MNF videotape, shown at the Speakers Dinner on May 9 and at the luncheon on May
10. Participants gave the entire program high ratings, even finding GGill less impersonal
that the smaller GGII! (committee roster and program attached)
The GG Seminar is much more than a free-standing event. It represents a major
opportunity-- both through its planning process and at the event itself-- to advance MNF's
mission of achieving a cohesive community of stakeholders in the nonprofit sector. The
Seminar can draw from and build on MNF's work throughout the year; the Seminar can
also inform MNF's mission in the subsequent year. Thus MNF's sponsorship represents a
special challenge to the Planning Committee for GGIV, scheduled for April24, 1992.
F. Start-up Functions. In addition to the five activity areas described above, a
major challenge for MNF's leaders was to create an operating alliance, capable of executing
collaborative activities through networks, with minimal MNF staff. In its first year, all the
major organizational components have been developed, and the organization is fully
operational ((501(c)(3) authorization still pending).
F-1: Governance: Because of its unique collaborative structure and purposes,
MNF' s governance was a special challenge. MNF Steering Committee members formed a
task force in July to formulate by-laws-- adopted in October and amended in May-- that
define a governing board and expanded membership, as well as inclusive committees which
draw widely from Michigan's nonprofit sector to define current programs and future
directions.
The goal of the founding members was to keep the governing board small enough for
effective deliberations, yet to keep MNF's leading edges-- its program and policy
committees -- as broadly inclusive as possible. They accomplished this FIRST by limiting
board membership to no more than 20 statewide networks of nonprofits (such as the United
Way of Michigan and the Michigan League for Human Services), plus 5 smaller or more
10
�specialized networks of nonprofits (such as the Michigan Orchestra Association or the Flint
Council of Churches), plus 5 At-Large Members with statewide prominence in the nonprofit
sector. The governing board is explicitly designed to bring diverse voices to the table,
representing as broad and rich a cross-section of Michigan's nonprofit sector as possible.
SECOND, the founding members defmed MNF's operating committees as inclusive-that is, those committees explicitly seek diverse representation from interested stakeholders
across the state. The Program Committee, Public Policy Committee and
Grantmakers/Grantseekers Program Committee are examples.
F-2: F.stablishine an Office and Staff: Although it serves as an alliance, MNF
must also operate as a well-managed and accountable organization. For this purpose, the
Steering Committee engaged an Acting Executive Director on June 1, 1990, who established
an office under the auspices of the United Way of Michigan. After an extensive search,
MNF leaders hired Maryellen Lewis as Executive Director on November 1, 1990, who hired
an Administrative Secretary. Based on the experience of the first year, on May 9, 1991
MNF leaders approved the creation of an administrative assistant position for Year 2 (after
discussion with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation).
F-3: Student Internships: MNF has engaged its first two student interns this fall.
Previously, both space and staff time represented unresolved obstacles to adding student
interns to the office operations. During its first seven months, MNF operated out of a single
office with two desks, contributed by the United Way of Michigan. In January, MNF
moved into temporary space in the Kellogg Center at Michigan State University, at first with
only a two and then a three month agreement. At that time, staff took on several new
responsibilities, including bookkeeping, accounting, purchasing and other financial
management services previously provided by the United Way of Michigan. So until
recently, the recruitment, deployment and supervision of student interns remained
undeveloped.
Nonetheless, MNF developed relationships with several colleges, including Michigan
State University, Lansing Community College and Cooley Law School, which will result in
both volunteer and paid student internships in 1991-92. Job descriptions for student projects
have already been drafted, and plans for supervision are being outlined. Two student interns
begin on October 1, 1991.
F-4: Evaluation. The MNF executive has been working with three evaluation
advisors from Michigan State University: Dr. Christopher Clark, chairman of educational
administration, Dr. Frank Fear, chairman of community development, and Dr. Mary
Andrews, associate dean of human ecology. Based on their advice, preliminary systems
have been developed to track MNF operations, and a process evaluation plan is being
developed by Dr. Clark. On their advice, a graduate student was sought to work with them
but were unsuccessful last spring. Since no funds were expended on evaluation in 1990-91
and rollover of all funds has been approved, a major evaluation design will be possible in
1991-92.
11
�IV. Future Plans - Year 2
As part of its planning for the fall meeting of the Trustees, the MNF Executive
Committee will review and set priorities for 1991-92 (and set the stage for 1992-93) at its
October 8 meeting. For this purpose, a preliminary list of goals was distributed for review
at the August 6 Executive Committee meeting, including these:
Promms to Develop
1. Strengthen MNF's capacity to respond and even take leadership on public
policy issues (such as liability issues).
2. Continue the Grantmakers/Grantseekers series, incorporating it as an
integral part of MNF' s ongoing work.
3. Begin a series of fonnal MNF-sponsored Summits/Public Policy Forums
on critical issues (one or two per year).
4. Kick off the Michigan Campaign for Voluntarism.
5. Lay groundwork for a statewide "Give 5" campaign, sequenced to begin
Spring 1993 (perhaps at Grantmakers/Grantseekers V), in cooperation
with the Council of Michigan Foundations and the United Way of
Michigan, and others.
6. In cooperation with MSU' s Nonprofit Michigan Project, conduct an
annual/semi-annual Scholars Roundtable and disseminate research on
the nonprofit sector as tools for practitioners.
7. Assist better communication among providers of training and technical
assistance to nonprofits, for joint planning and more comprehensive
services to all regions.
8. Fonnalize MNF publications and dissemination networks.
9. Implement the Computer Bulletin Board.
Services to Develop
1. Increase capacity to collect and share infonnation.
2. Increase capacity to convene stakeholders for dialogue and collaboration.
3. Produce "Issue Papers," such as the White Paper proposed by the Public
Policy Committee.
Administrative Goals
1. Develop membership base and services.
2. Implement Finance Committee's design for alternative funding sources,
beginning in the second year (appended).
3. Increase involvement of student interns.
4. Implement the formal evaluation, and incorporate into Board planning
process.
V. Dissemination
In its first year, MNF shared infonnation about its work through several national
networks. As a member of the National Council of Nonprofit Associations, MNF
12
�communicates with existing and emerging state associations of nonprofits, at conferences and
through the mail and phone. As a member of the Independent Sector, MNF has access to a
much larger network of stakeholders, and has participated in the national dialogue at
conferences and regular telephone communication (particularly about pressing national public
policy issues such as the postal rate). MNF has also participated in the national "Into the
Streets" initiative for college student community service, and continues to communicate with
individuals from other regions about college/nonprofit agency partnerships.
Outside of Michigan, several aspects of MNF's experience have gained attention and
may be useful elsewhere. For example, the Michigan alliance appears to be unique in at
least three ways:
-- MNF includes funders as partners
-- MNF includes educators as partners
-- MNF includes religious organizations as partners
Plans for sharing this kind of information remain informal, in much the same way as other
states share information with us. This seems to be the most appropriate and effective means
of dissemination at the moment. Eventually, articles will be prepared for publication, but
perhaps not during the second year.

�(3rd draft, 2/19/90)
Proposal:
To Implement the
Michigan Nonprofit Forum
Summary:
Leaders of ten statewide organi zations concerned
with voluntarism and philanthropy in Michigan have been working as
a Steering Committee since August 1988 to design the Michigan
Nonprofit Forum: a strategic network of statewide organizations
that wi 11 seek to advance the shared i nterests and concerns of
Michigan's nonprofit sector. Those founding members now propose
to implement the Forum to operate over the next five years, guided
by its Steering Committee of ten to fifteen member organizations
(represented on the Steering Committee by their Presidents/Chairs
and thei r CEOs).
The
founding Steering
Committee
members
include
the
Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Michigan,
the Counci1 of Michigan Foundations, the Michigan Association of.
School Administrators, the Michigan Association of School Boards,
the Michigan Community College Association, the Michigan Council
for the Arts, the Michigan Health Council, the Michigan League for
Human Services, the Presidents Council of State Universities of
Michigan, and the United Way of Michigan.
The primary mission of the Michigan Nonprofit Forum w i l l be:
to promote the awareness and effectiveness of
Michigan's nonprofit sector and to help
advance
the
cause
of
voluntari sm
and
philanthropy in the state.
Toward that end, the MNF w i l l promote dialogue, cooperation and
collaboration across fields (health, human services, arts and
humanities, community development, education, religion) to address
mutual problems, strengthen the sector as a whole, and raise p u b l i c
awareness
and
recognition
of
the
sector's
significant
contri butions.
To accomplish this mission, the Forum w i l l undertake
activities in these four areas over the next five years:
(1) Dialogue: The Forum w i l l regularly convene discussions
among sector leaders on key and emerging issues, such as those
related to taxes, governance and l i a b i l i t y ;
it w i l l serve
both as a catal yst for understandi ng and a resource for
further action. Further, through cooperation with existing
networks across the state—such as those represented by the
member organizations—the Forum w i l l promote dissemination of
that kind of dialogue throughout all levels of the sector, in
order to raise the quality and extent of local discussion and
�•informed action "in the state as a whole.
(2) Information Sharing and Research:
The Forum will also
compile and disseminate current information and insights, as
a basis for analysis, planning and action in the state, both
within the sector and among policymakers and the public. It
w i l l not only serve as a responsive "clearinghouse" of
information on the nonprofit sector (with a Michigan bent),
but w i l l also serve a leadership role in raising awareness and
understanding of emerging issues.
In particular, it w i l l
serve as an information resource on Michigan's nonprofit
sector for those seeking to advance the cause of voluntarism
and philanthropy in the state.
The Forum w i l l also seek to strengthen the network among
Michigan scholars of the nonprofit sector, so that a more
solid knowledge base w i l l underlie p u b l i c policy and practice
in the state. In collaboration with Michigan's colleges and
universities, the Forum w i l l promote collaborative analysis
and broader reporting on the role, diversity, capacity and
impact of the nonprofit sector in Michigan.
(3)
Advocacy:
The Steering Committee represents unique
access to a large part of the nonprofit sector in Michigan.
Although member organizations monitor issues impacting their
fields, the MNF w i l l serve as a hub for gathering and
disseminating critical information on sector-wide issues. The
Forum w i l l serve as an efficient exchange on current policy
issues shared across the nonprofit sector, keeping Michigan's
nonprofit sector f u l l y informed and up to date.
Also, on
issues of common concern, based on unanimous consent of the
Steering Committee, the Forum w i l l add its voice in the policy
arena and its efforts to m o b i l i z i n g support throughout the
state.
f4)
Capacity-Bui 1 ding:
W h i l e many support services are
provided by Michigan's nonprofit associations, many nonprofits
have not been reached.
Nonetheless, human resource and
organizational development in the nonprofit sector are w i d e l y
recognized as critical investments for the 1990s.
Therefore, working through its member organizations, the MNF
w i l l seek to identify existing in-state resources for
technical assistance and education in philanthropy and
voluntarism, as well as areas of need and interest in the
state. Using that information as a guide, the MNF w i l l work
to match assistance/experience with need/interest, and to
develop local and regional structures that w i l l sustain that
kind of assistance in the future.
The Forum not only w i l l
provi de a mechanism for i ncreasi ng awareness of resources
across the sector but also w i l l serve as a catalyst for
collaborative planning and action.

Guidelines to Member Organizations for Representation on the
Board of Trustees
(Adopted 6/27/90)
Organizational Members of the MNF Board of Trustees
each have two Representatives, also known as MNF Trustees:
(1)
The chief operational officer (or equivalent), and
(2)
A senior volunteer member of the Board.
(3) Where there is no chief operational officer, the
Organizational Member has two Board Representatives.
The Board Representative(s) isjare selected by each
member organization according to their own procedures.
In
most cases, that person serves as the current or past
Chairperson or Chairperson-elect of the member organization.
In other cases, another leading Board member has been
selected.
Whatever the person's formal role, there are several
characteristics that contribute to effective participation
on the MNF Board of Trustees.
For example:
The Representative should have an interest in issues
of voluntarism, philanthropy and the nonprofit sector.
The Representative should be an acknowledged leader
whose voice truly "represents" the organization.
-- Some consideration should be given to continuity of
representation, even if officers change from year to
year.

(Adopted 6/27/90)
As members of the policy-making body of the Michigan Nonprofit
Forum, we commit ourselves to be guided in our deliberations by
the Forum's mission:
to promote the awareness and effectiveness of
Michigan's nonprofit sector, and to advance the cause
of voluntarism and philanthropy in the state.
We recognize the great diversity of the sector and the wide
range of stakeholders that the Forum proposes to engage in this
mission:
nonprofit organizations and professionals, funders,
educators and researchers concerned with philanthropy and
voluntarism, policyrnakers and civic leaders, the media, the
public sector as it relates to philanthropy and voluntarism,
volunteers, and other concerned citizens and contributors.
Because of this great diversity, we commit ourselves to
seeking common ground and to building bridges that will benefit
the Public Good through collaboration and capacity-building.
Although some Forum initiatives that we choose may not involve
the entire sector and all its stakeholders, as a whole the Forum
agenda will be designed to achieve ever greater awareness,
effectiveness and informed support of Michigan's nonprofit sector
and voluntary community.
In particular, we commit ourselves to these OPERATING
PRINCIPLES:
-- We will distinguish carefully in the activities of
the Forum between initiatives that serve the Forum's
broad mission and those that would serve only
proprietary interests which are more appropriately
addressed by our individual organizations or
associations.
-- We will acknowledge diversity by recognizing the variety
of circumstances of Members and by incorporating those
differences into the decision-making process.
-- We will seek as a Board to operate from a principle of
consensus and collaborative action through the Forum.

n . ~--
�-- We will seek and be guided by the best information on
Michigan's nonprofit sector, philanthropy and voluntarism,
particularly in areas not represented on the Board.
-- Since this Board does not claim to be a "representative
body'' (and recognizes that "representativeness'' is not a
realistic goal), we will seek to achieve the greatest scope
possible in our Board membership and to secure much greater,
diverse input through each of our organizational networks.

Grantmakers/Grantseekers Program Committee: Dorothy
Johnson reported that she and John Lore will Co-Chair

key committee continue in future years to be shared by
a grantmaker and a grantseeker.
Dorothy Johnson continued by reporting on the
1990 financial statement (attached) and the formation
of the 1991 Committee (master attached), which will
retain many experienced members and should include
representatives of MNF Member Organizations, achieving
an effective balance between grantmakers and the broad
range of grantseekers. The Michigan chapters of the
NSFRE will be represented, and she suggested that their
representation be formalized in the eventual
redefinition of this working group as an MNF Standing
Committee.
b.

The Council of Michigan Foundations and the
Michigan League for Human Services also have formal
roles in the Project, which is conducted by the
Foundation for American Communications in Los Angeles
(Peter c . McCarty, Executive Vice President).
-3-
�6.
c.
Michigan Volunteer Coalition : Maryellen Lewis reported
on the progress of the MVC, an ad hoc coalition
convened by George Romney on June 20 in Lansing (report
attached). At that meeting, Romney invited the MNF to
serve as the coordinating agency for the MVC, an idea
supported by the six attending Steering Committee
members. Today the Committee unanimously and
enthusiastically endorsed that involvement as central
to the forum's mission and in its best interest as an
emerging organization .
d.
National database on the Nonprofit Sector: Maryellen
Lewis reported on progress being made by MNF to help

files of #990 forms -- on the nonprofit sector.
Eventually, that data will be available to scholars
and agencies across the state, through the CRIS
database at Michigan State University.
e.
Scholars Network: The Committee discussed the MNF
Scholars Network now in formation, which will stimulate
research, teaching, and publication on Michigan's
nonprofit sector and the translation of new data into
useful tools for practitioners. Constance Julius
expressed special interest in having the Michigan
Community College Association become involved in
related teleconferencing.
f.
Computer Bulletin Board: Maryellen Lewis reported that
Thomas Bernthal had authorized C.J.Schroll to work with
the Forum to develop the computer bulletin board. She
will meet with him in July.
Other Business:
a.
Dorothy Johnson reported on a new series of workshops
for nonprofits that will be sponsored by the Accounting
Aid Society called the "Nonprofit Leadership Forum 11 to
be co-sponsored by the Council of Michigan Foundations
and the Michigan Council for the Arts. She proposed,
and the Committee concurred, that we should help to cosponsor this series. She also urged the Acting
Executive Director to seek ways to develop the Forum's
potential role in this area of training , which is
central to the Forum's mission.
Don Elliott proposed, and the Committee concurred,
that in related areas that are "in keeping with our
operating principles 11 , decisions concerning MNF
involvement be delegated to the Executive Director.

attached)
(b)

of an orientation for Trustees in the near future.
(c)
FACS Michigan Communication Project: Maryellen
Lewis reported on this collaboration with the
Foundation for American Communications in Los Angeles.
Three Journalist Education programs are under
development for next spring, each of which will include
the nonprofit sector as a central theme:
(1) Poverty
(with the Michigan League for Human Services), (2) the
Environment (with the Michigan Environmental Council),
and (3) the Michigan Nonprofit Sector (supported in
part by the Detroit News). Other partners in this
effort include the Michigan Press Association and the
Michigan Association of Broadcasters. In addition,
five "media relations" · workshops are being developed,
with the aim of creating networks of nonprofits within
regions which can effectively collaborate to inform the
public through the news. In the process, MNF is
helping to create a statewide organization of nonprofit
staff and leaders responsible for public
communications.
(d) Michigan Volunteer Coalition: Chairman George
Romney and Co-Chairs Janet Blanchard and Judith Hooker
met with Maryellen Lewis to develop the following
strategies:
(1) Janet Blanchard will approach the
Governor about getting bipartisan support for
designating 1991 the Year of the Volunteer in Michigan;
(2) Judith Hooker suggested, and the others concurred,
that nine regional meetings should be developed to
convene leadership teams, develop local strategies, and
begin to mobilize support and resources;
(3) Governor
Romney suggested the possibility that the President's
Points of Light Foundation designate Michigan as its
one state model, bringing further visibility, prestige
and possibly resources to the effort.
Since that meeting, Romney and Lewis met with
Norman Brown and Joel Orosz at the W.K. Kellogg
Foundation, leading to their request for a "concept
paper" on such a statewide initiative coordinated
through the Michigan Nonprofit Forum.

MICHIGAN
NONPROFIT
FORUM
9/26/ 90
300 N. Washington Square, Suite405, P.O. Box 18219, Lansing, Michigan 48901-8219
Maryellen J. Lewis, Acting Executive Director
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In response to pressing changes and challenges in the
nonprofit sector, leaders of ten statewide organizations
concerned with voluntarism and philanthropy in Michigan met on
August 31, 1988 to consider the formation of the Michigan
Nonprofit Forum. Initially conceived as a mechanism to convene
members for joint discussions about shared issues, the Forum has
evolved into an entity charged with facilitating a new awareness
and increased capacity of Michigan's nonprofit sector, and with
interfacing funders, nonprofits and the public (working
collaboratively with the existing efforts in the state) to
promote voluntarism and philanthropy in Michigan.
To achieve these goals, the Forum does not itself serve as a
trade association, competing for memberships and support with
existing associations in Michigan. Nor does it provide the
field-specific services and advocacy provided by current Michigan
associations. Instead, the Michigan Nonprofit Forum creates, for
the first time, a statewide mechanism for dialogue, planning and
cooperative action among all stakeholders in the nonprofit
sector. The Forum brings together in its Steering Committee and
its design not just traditional charities, but also public and
private funders and tax-supported institutions (such as the
public schools and universities) that also have an increasinglyrecognized stake.
The activities of the Forum address voluntarism,
philanthropy and the nonprofit sector not as proprietary
interests but as public goods, which broadly affect the state's
economy, polity and quality of life, and which therefore merit
careful analysis and planning, human resource development,
informed public discussion, and dependable investment.
MNF Mission and Goals.
Nonprofit Forum is:
The primary mission of the Michigan
to promote the awareness and effectiveness of
Michigan's nonprofit sector, and to advance the
cause of voluntarism and philanthropy in the
state.
Toward that end, the Forum promotes dialogue, cooperation and
collaboration across fields (health, human services, arts and
Telephone (517) 3714360 • FAX (517) 3714546
�humanities, community development, education, religion) and
economic sectors (nonprofit, public and for-profit) to address
mutual problems, strengthen the sector as a whole, and raise
public awareness and recognition of the nonprofit sector's role
and significant contributions in Michigan.
To accomplish this mission, the Forum undertakes activities
in these five areas:
1.
Dialogue: The Forum regularly convenes meetings (local,
regional and statewide) among sector leaders and stakeholders; it serves as both a resource for understanding
and a catalyst for further action.
2.
Information Sharing and Research: The Forum compiles
and disseminates current information and insights, as a
basis for analysis, planning and action. The Forum also
works to strengthen the network among Michigan scholars
of the nonprofit sector, toward a more solid knowledge
base for public policy and practice in the state.
3.
pyblic Policy Information: The Forum seeks greater
awareness and understanding of public policy issues that
affect the sector as a whole.
4.
Capacity-Building: Human resource and organizational
development in the nonprofit sector are widely recognized as critical investments for the 1990s. So, within
the Forum's broad mission of improved sector effectiveness and greater public understanding and commitment,
the Forum promotes greater awareness of resources _across
the sector and facilitates collaborative planning ·and
action.
5.
Annual Grantmakers/Grantseekers Seminar: As a centerpiece for its work, the Forum conducts the annual
GrantmakersjGrantseekers Seminar, which brings the
sector's stakeholders together for day-long presentations and discussions.

impossible task -- it does bring together a small number of
statewide organizations with broad reach into many fields.
